 `Invoke-Formatter` can drive a bulk reformat from the same settings, but it has known
 edge bugs around branch placement (half-cuddled `else`, no inter-statement newline
 insertion — issues #508, #794), so any auto-reformat must be re-linted and the
-`else`/`catch`/`finally` sites eyeballed.
+`else`/`catch`/`finally` sites eyeballed. Operator, pipe, and parameter spacing are
+also formatter-enforced; the hashtable assignment carve-out is deliberate so aligned
+hashtables continue to satisfy `PSAlignAssignmentStatement`. Enum member alignment is
+disabled because `CheckOperator` owns assignment-operator spacing outside hashtables.
